Email Lament

Once again my box is empty
when I know there should be plenty.
No sweet missive from my wife,
nor note from bro of current strife,
no messages from my many friends
not even junk mail, no ***-sends.
My son, he does not write of dance,
it was so barren, no second glance
was needed to reveal that blank slate,
denies me my normal reading state.
My boss, he did not rant and rave
in email order, my job to save!!
No, it's quiet, no emails still. . .
Perhaps I should pay that server bill!

Great write, James! Welcome on the Soup...or in the Soup, if you want to dip your soul in the depths of this new ocean of blue... or black... or black and blue dreams! Stop your laments, friend, and if Email doesn't work, throw it away and Soupmail! (^_^) Thanks for your visit and comment! Blessings, Hanitra

On my way to check out in the dictionary what 'thwarted" means and I'll have a look at your poem!

It wasn't a serious lament, just one to make people smile. Similar to my poem "Thwarted."
